Federico de Romanis

Recenzje

The volume is a monumental work in various respects: exegetical care, the quantity and multiplicity of the sources and data collected; the breadth of the historical span ranging from the Roman period, the second century of the Muziris papyrus, and earlier and later times up to the pre-modern era. Federico De Romanis offers much more than the title promises by reconstructing a large multidisciplinary mosaic of interest to the ancient historian, the papyrologist, the ancient geographer, the scholar of ancient economies, and the Indianist.
